Schmalz sack suction gripper SG for flexible handling of sacks

Product group: Vacuum Gripping Systems
Sector: Packaging, Logistics
Component: Packaging

In the past, the 20 kg sacks were handled and palletized using a claw pick-up. The claw pick-up had to be manually adjusted for each different sack type. The cycle times were also not satisfactory. Schmalz’s SG sack suction pad provided the ideal solution for this handling task.

The Schmalz sack suction gripper SG picks up the sack from the surface of the workpiece and grips it securely. The suction pad is suitable for all sack types and can handle sacks with both stable and unstable contents. The sack suction gripper is equipped with a special sealing foam, which allows it to precisely conform to the shape of the workpiece. A support grid within the suction pad prevents the sack from tearing or being sucked in.

With the SG sack suction pad, the output was increased from 12 to 22 pieces per minute, which enhanced the productivity of the plant by 80%.
